Beautiful Mama-to-be and Daddy, too . . . {sneak peek}

Kathryn — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 04:38:22 +0000

I’ve always wanted to shoot in this area and E and B were willing to troop all over the place with me! The colors and textures are fantastic – a photographer’s dream! E is due any day now with her first baby and the two of them couldn’t be any cuter. Makes me long for that first newborn experience again (just a little). Plus, could they be any more gorgeous? I can’t wait to meet their little guy in the next few weeks and he will definitely have a starring role here! Now that spring’s here, I’m gearing up for sessions again! So, hopefully my poor blog won’t be so abandoned!

Welcome Baby N (and yes, I’m still here!) {Sneak Peek}

Kathryn — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 18:00:15 +0000

This little guy was not so little when he came into this world! Well over 9 pounds! Baby N was absolutely perfect. Slept like a dream and did everything I asked : ) His sister was one of my first subjects newborns. His mom, D, and I had a good laugh over the holiday pictures I took of his sister when she was about six months old. Luckily, everything is a learning experience, right?!

I’m sharing the video I put together for the G Family. This is the video that comes with my digital package – it comes iPod sized, sized for a computer screen and also as a high-quality DVD.

Congratulations on the perfect addition to your family!

loved this little guy! . . . {sneak peek}

This little guy was supposed to be a newborn shoot – a shower gift certificate given to J, his mom. Well, for many reasons, it didn’t quite work out and we’ve been waiting for the perfect time to do our session. How cute is he? When I first arrived, his mom and dad warned me that he might not cooperate. Ha ha, little did they know he was going to be a perfect model. Lots of smiles, lots of sweet looks and lots of patience for changing his clothes. Plus, the weather held and the light was gorgeous. Definitely worth a trip to the suburbs! Hope it was worth the wait B Family.

I really couldn’t decide what to put up. Don’t worry though, you won’t have to wait long. Your gallery should be up tomorrow.

(and how gorgeous are his eyes????)

sweet little r . . . {sneak peek}

I had such a nice time with the N family. After cancellations for weather, sniffles and even the flu, we finally got our session in! And, what a perfect day. It was a little chilly, but little R was such a trooper. Is he cute or what? He and his adorable cousin, M, are going to make quite a little pair as they get older! Okay, I’ll stop talking and give you what you came for. . .images! Crazy busy with sessions, so get ready for more sneak peeks next week! Thanks L and E, I hope you love your gallery!

sweet brothers . . . {sneak peek}

Big brother M and little brother E couldn’t be sweeter. M is so sweet and kind to his little brother – he really wanted to take pictures with little E. I had a great time talking with M. After he told me that his favorite color was black and that he liked to play air keyboards, I had to stop in a (not so nicely smelling) alley for an impromptu “air” concert. I LOVE the concentration!

a little time out for my own girls . . .

Kathryn — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 02:18:39 +0000

I’ve been so busy looking at other people’s kids, I decided it was time to take my girls out for a few. There is a spot right near my house that I’ve driven around so many times thinking about all the great colors and textures. I’ve always been just a little afraid that I’d be kicked out since it’s all private businesses. Today was surprisingly nice (rain, rain, rain, please go away so I can fit all these sessions in!). So, off we went to try to get a few holiday pictures! The girls were great. L did not want to cooperate for long, but I still got some good ones and G is the best daughter a photographer could ask for. Always willing to try anything and even coming up with some good shots herself!

Okay, back to editing! K Family look for something later tonight and E Family, yours should be ready tomorrow!

A favorite family brings me back from a blog hiatus . . .{sneak peek}

Kathryn — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 23:22:48 +0000

The blog has been quiet, but my schedule has not! I’m gearing up for the fall/holiday rush and can’t wait to capture all kinds of gorgeous fall images. Now if only the weather would cooperate. Rain, rain, go away!

I got lucky with one of my favorite families and we had a beautiful day. I’ve been so fortunate to take pictures of little Miss M as a newborn, at seven months and now, at a year! It is so much fun to see how much she’s changed!

I’m going to keep this short and sweet because you’re really here to see the pictures and I’ve got galleries galore to get up. I’m going to try to get up some catch-up images from the sessions I’ve been doing over the past few months very soon.

another 7/8/9 baby . . . perfect little P . . . {sneak peek}

Kathryn — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 06:02:39 +0000

Little Mr. P was a photographer’s dream! There are just some babies who make my job so easy. He slept, slept and then, slept some more. It was one of those sessions where I couldn’t pick what to post here. Just too many! I knew I would like C & D right from the start. How sweet is this? D called me to purchase this session as a Mother’s Day present for C – definitely have to like a husband like that!

It was so great meeting both of you finally. (You know I had to include one of your first “baby.”)

little miss m . . . adorable and with a personality to match! {sneak peek}

Kathryn — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 20:12:14 +0000

I was lucky enough to get to see one of my favorite families yesterday. I met little Miss M when she was just a newborn and now she’s eight months old! One of the best parts of my job is that I get to see newborns grow into older babies and toddlers. It is so much fun to see their little personalities develop and let me tell you Miss M has a personality. She is so intent on doing and moving. She concentrates so hard on getting where she wants to go and she definitely knows where she wants to go. Her mom and dad told me that she is not a giggly baby and while she seems way too interested in what’s going on around her to be giggly, we got lots of smiles and a few giggles out of her. I might have to buy her a feather duster tickler for her birthday!

When we first scheduled Miss M’s session, I was so happy to have a baby at that perfect age. Old enough to really interact with the camera and young enough that she couldn’t move too fast. Ummm. . .wrong on that second count. M was army crawling at 6 months and she is all over the place now!

L and B, it was so great to see you both again yesterday. M is absolutely perfect and I couldn’t have enjoyed her more. You are going to have your hands full! Enjoy your sneak peek!

My sweet girls {my life} . . .Image Overload!

Kathryn — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 14:14:28 +0000

It has been way too long since I dragged my camera around capturing my girls’ every move. With little Miss L at 2 1/2, she usually requires my full attention. But, I am hanging out at my mom’s for a few days and the girls would way rather Nana and Papa take care of their whims than mommy. So, I get to take pictures! I’m thrilled that I finally got a few that I love of L, she is usually running away from the camera.

I love that G and L get the best of both worlds. They are city kids with a Nana and Papa who live on a farm – and a real one at that – hogs, smells, bugs, snakes, tractors and combines. G is going through a little phase where she is terrified of the littlest bug and almost incoherent at big bugs or flying bugs. So, she hasn’t been outside much : ) Plus, it is about a million degrees in central Illinois. But, she was brave today and went swimming in the hot tub for awhile (no swim vest, daddy!), picked strawberries with her sister and did all kinds of other fun things. Papa drove the combine up to the mulberry tree so G could reach and L had so much fun in the strawberry patch pretending to take calls on her cell phone. We saw a big snake sunning itself and all in all, the bugs stayed pretty far away. I think maybe G forgot to be afraid for a little while. It was sweltering. The girls had sweaty, hot faces. But, they had a blast and we got fresh peas, strawberries, mulberries and carrots with dinner.

For all of you with summer sessions, you know how I’m always trying to convince you to do our sessions early in the morning or late, late afternoon? Check out the beautiful light in these images and you’ll see why!
